Cokes New Marketing Strategy

1. Create Liquid Content: This implies creating content in terms of images, videos or articles that are so dynamic that they beg to be shared.

2. Ensure Content is linked: The created content has to be relevant and connected to the companies’ goals and brand. It has to be innately relevant to the business objectives of the company, its brand and the consumers’ interests.

...IN YOUR VIEW, DISCUSS HOW MARKETING COMMUNICATION CAN SERVE A STRATEGIC AND TACTICAL ROLE IN A MARKETING CAMPAIGN. PROVIDE EXAMPLES
Marketing campaign are specific activities designed to promote a product, service or business through marketing communication. Marketing communication are co-ordinated promotional messages delivered through one or more channels such as print, radio, television, direct mail and personal selling. Marketing communication can have either a strategic or a tactical role depending on the marketing tool use and the effects it has on consumers. A tactical role is one that implies ‘Short-duration, adaptive, action-interaction realignments that opposing forces use to accomplish limited goals after their initial contact’ (Quinn, 2003). Therefore, a tactical role is to be quick and fix in action expecting a limited or no result in the future; like for example a sudden sales promotion in response to concurrence Marketing strategy. In contrast a strategic role implies long term plans and consequences involving many of the organization’s activities and resources, and which could shape the company’s competitive position in order to fit some environmental change (Johnson et al, 2005). Marketing campaigns can be used for various reason, however so as to give my view on how marketing communication can serve a strategic and tactical role we will focus on five uses of marketing campaigns which are Introducing new product, build brand image, increase sales of product......

...Strategic Marketing is the way a firm effectively differentiates itself from it’s competitors by capitalising on its strengths (both current and potential) to provide consistently better value to customers than its competitors. In principle it’s that simple, but it means a lot more than getting creative with the marketing mix.
Armed with a thorough understanding of the firm’s capabilities and aspirations, the customer market and the competitive landscape, the Goal of Strategic Marketing (and the job of the strategic marketer) is to maximise a firm’s positive differentiation over competitors in the eyes of its target market. It does this by answering 3 key questions; where, how and when should the business compete. In understanding this, it’s no surprise that a Strategic Marketing Plan will often lay a framework for fundamental change in the way a firm works and how it engages its markets.
Business-to-Business (B2B) Marketing, like any area of management, has both strategic and operational components. While operational marketing (marketing management) is concerned with developing a suitable marketing mix to realise a set of defined business goals, Strategic Marketing on the other hand is concerned with defining what the business needs to ‘be and become’ to consistently beat the competitors by delivering consistently better value.
Simply put, the Role of Strategic Marketing is to decide:
1. Which markets to compete in (where to compete).
2. What the basis of the firm’s......
